Newspapers for Wall Paner

Perhaps it was my fathers love of litera-
ture which inspired him to choose newspapers
ior wall paper; at any rate he did so, and the
effect, as remember it, was not without its
decorative qualities. He had used n barrel of
papers, bought at the nearest postoffice, where
they had been refused by the persons to whom
they had been experimentally sent by the
publisher, and the whole first page was taken
up by story, which broke off in the middle
OF sentence at the foot of the last column
and tantalized us forever with fruitless con-
lecture as to the fate of the hero and heroine
l really suppose that cheap wall paper
could have been got for the same money
though it might not have seemed so economi-
cal. am not sure that the use of the news
papers was not tributary Renaissance OF
my fathers pioneer life; cannot remen. Der
that it excited any comment in the neigh
borhood, who were frank with their opinion
OF everything else we did. But it does 40.
greatly matter.-W. ID. Howells in Yout...

SCROFULA

lido not believe that
Ayers Sarsaparilla

for Scrofulous HUI

to take, gives strength

duces a more perrna-

I have used Ayers
Sarsaparilla, in my
family, for Scrofula,
and know, if it is
taken faithfully it will
thoroughly eradicate
this terrible disease.

DR.. Brooks and the Presidency.

LIE. BROOKS anu the EIeSlQ6uCy
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Missouri may have a Presidential
candidate in the race next year. To
be sure, he won't be elected, but
then he will have a great deal of
honor for his trouble, provided, of
course, he receives the nomination
of his party, which has already
called a National Convention to
meet at Indianapolis. DIR. John
A. Brooks, of Warrensburg, who
made a very creditable race for
Governor in this State three years
ago, it is said is a candidate for the
Prohibition nomination for Presi-
dent, and has already begun the
canvass in a quiet way. A promi-
nent local Prohibitionist, speaking
of DR.. Brooks ambition, said to a
Gobe-D Democrat reporter yesterday:
Crooks is wasting his time, and
ought to know better than to be a
candidate for the Presidency, when
there are SO many rich men in our
party who would like the honor of
running for the Presidency, and
who would subscribe literally to
the campaign fund. We have about
a dozen millionaires among the
leaders of our party, any one of
whom can have the nomination for
the asking.
